UK Chancellor Goes to China while Economy Collapses

Church of England revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Daniel French sit down to talk about the biggest stories in church and state this week:

Senior Labour figures call for U-turn on refusal to hold national enquiry into rape gangs.
The UK economy collapses while Rachel Reeves leaves for China. And Andrew Lawrence's ten step to fix the problem.
Meta to end third-party fact-checking.
Partial Church of England exodus to Bluesky.
And the political fallout over the Californian wildfires. Is climate change or DEI to blame?
All that and a bit more as ever. Enjoy!
